God Realm
Guest Author - Samten Tsomo

The seemingly highest of the six realms is the God realm. Think of the God realm as a never-ending college party (Ok not the best analogy for a parent but try and pretend.) Enlightenment is easiest to reach in the God realm, however because life is so great and you get to do what you want when you want with no worries you forget to do any positive deeds. There is always great music and food and you never get a hangover. Money is never a worry you are young and beautiful. You are convinced that you will never die that the pleasure is permanent. And so you never practice doing any good deeds.

Until, that is, your good karma has been spent. You start to die, you start reeking of decay and death, your beautiful body starts to shrivel and decay even though you are still living. Your 'friends' want nothing to do with you and abandon you, leaving you to your fate. There is no choice of when you fall from heaven and it is considered to be a very painful experience. After you die you are thrown back into the Bardo State and you don't know where you will be going next.
